Notice of November 12, 1997
Continuation of Emergency Regarding Weapons of
Mass
Destruction
On November 14, 1994, by Executive Order 12938, I
declared a national emergency with respect to the
unusual and extraordinary threat to the national
security, foreign policy, and economy of the United
States posed by the proliferation of nuclear,
biological, and chemical weapons (``weapons of mass
destruction'') and the means of delivering such
weapons. Because the proliferation of weapons of mass
destruction and the means of delivering them continue
to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the
national security, foreign policy, and economy of the
United States, the national emergency declared on
November 14, 1994, and extended on November 14, 1995
and November 14, 1996, must continue in effect beyond
November 14, 1997. Therefore, in accordance with
section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50
U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing the national emergency
declared in Executive Order 12938.
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register
and transmitted to the Congress.
(Presidential Sig.)
THE WHITE HOUSE,
November 12, 1997.
